Best Free Audio CD Ripping Program
Welcome to another episode of the Freeware Mission. I’m going to choose the best free audio CD ripper, because I need my music to be “portable”, take it from my CDs to my MP3 player. Another reason is that mostly I listen to music on my PC rather than my CD player, so it’s more comfortable to have the songs on my hard disk. And the best free audio CD ripping program is…
Well, the choice was a little bit difficult. There were two freeware programs that grabbed my attention: CDex and Exact Audio Copy. I like CDex a lot because it’s open source and it’s a pretty good program. But I have to say that the features in Exact Audio Copy are a little bit better. The most important feature for me is that it supports FLAC, and apart from that it implements some interesting technologies that allow you to have as little errors as possible when copying the tracks from an audio CD. And it also includes a small but handy audio editor!
Another important feature is that Exact Audio Copy supports all kinds of CD and DVD drives: USB, Firewire, SATA and SCSI drives. Although it still didn’t have it’s final release (it’s still in beta state) I’m sure that it will be an outstanding freeware program. My concern is that the latest beta was released in January this year, and nothing was released since. I guess they are working hard for the final release 
You can download Exact Audio Copy from here, it’s free!

EAC is good. But it takes years to come up with a new build/version. It has been in the 0.9x mode since I got to know about it several years back. So I’ve kind of given up hope seeing the v1.0 anytime soon.
